Some just aren't fans of Rudy's remastering. Sure, some aren't homeruns, a FEW duds (A Fickle Sonance). But the majority are beautiful, some superb. The notion that Rudy's hearing has suffered high end loss seems pretty crazy.
Well, for what it's worth, one of Rudy's Dutch relatives told me about his (alleged) hearing loss. If it's true, I haven't the slightest idea if it has any impact on his work.
All I know is that I don't like his Blue Note remasters (it seems I disagree with Chuck here); like I said on other occasions they give me a severe headache, and that's not what I would call "enjoying music". Oh, and by the way, my hearing's fine: I recently had it checked by a specialist, and it's still in excellent condition despite my age (I'm 56)
